I'm lowered on Swifts and have not scraped my can's yet (knock on wood). I'm just careful over large bumps where I know the rear is going to squat. Clearance seems to be on par with the local Fast Intentions guys.

Now that's very interesting and welcomed news. Swifts or ARK GT-Fs are a mod on my radar. And like you I'm careful over bumps and non-optimal road conditions. In fact, I only drive her on roads that I'm familiar with. One of the benefits of a DD, I can pick and choose when and where I driver her.

I on the other hand have started scraping my ark exhaust after installing swifts, but roads suck here in PR, plus some of the dips and speed bumps on the road are huuuge. But yes, being extra careful has helped me get you through 90% of the bumps and dips encountered so far

Scraped as in "highly noticeable when viewed from the rear" or "you hear it, feel it, but have to crawl underneath her to see the damage"? Neither is good, but hopefully it's the latter.

Its more like "oh, cr@p i scraped the whole exhaust and my world is now over and have to buy a new exhaust" kind of feeling and sounding scrape.

But in reality its not that bad, definitely not noticeable unless you get under the car

Yeah, I think most of us would feel that way.
